    There is a book that is useful and funny but careful it can cause rows - I know because I lent my copy to my boss and he and his wife rowed about the book - its isnt lewd btw. It is by Allan & Barbara Pease and called:

    Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps

    It helps you understand why men and women are what they are.

    How about some heart-shaped cake tins or even some heart-shaped stewpots (TK Maxx in Birmingham had some the other week made by Le Creuset)

    I'd say wedding magazines too... And planning books. And what about a sixpence for her to put in her shoe, mine cost £1.78 off eBay!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Hi all

    Many Thanks for all the great suggestions, I knew I could count on you, I have also mentioned the hamper idea to a few other colleagues and they think it is a great idea and want to contribute which means we can get quite a few things.

    Thanks again
